This adds two new remote helpers.
* git-remote-fd, which connects to git service on given file descriptor(s),
useful for graphical user interfaces that want to use internal ssh client.
* git-remote-ext, which connect to git service using external program. Useful
for connecting using odd one-off ssh options, to services in abstract
namespace, using unix domain sockets, using TLS, etc...
Changes from last time:
* Rewrite the bidirectional copy loop to use threads or processes. The
resulting code is bit simpler and doesn't rely on poll/select working
on sockets/pipes.
